Bought in March 2011 from the grandson of the original purchaser. Only modification is removal of self-leveling rear suspension system and replacement with new coils and shocks.
A Deutsch Engineering Masterpiece with a French Name
my first classic car, without any blood & sweat spilled at all. Previous owner spent a fortune shipping it from HK to MB Germany (2000-2003) to restore the glory of this beauty. Colour was Blue/Blue but now Grey/Grey (my kind of colour anyway).

First pix of my not so new 6.9
It's 2007 and I thought that may be it's about time I bought a digital camera. So naturally the first pix I took are of my beloved 6.9. In summary it's number 2062 off the production line, was made in 1977 and shipped to Hong Kong. There it served a top barrister. In 1997 it came with him to UK and languished in a stable together with race horses. In 2002 I took ownership from the original owner. I have done no major reconditioning although there is always something that's being fixed or worked on. Amazing machine.
Body restore
Some nicely posed photographs
At the expense of selling my 126 I managed to acquire a rust free, low mileage 450 sel... A car I've been after for a long time..
